I'm Josh N., the breeder behind New Life Labradors located in Peachland, NC. We breed the best family and sport Retreviers available. Some of our adult dogs have junior titles, canine good citizens titles, master hunt titles and also hunting retriever champion titles. Some with multiple titles.
Q. & A. with Josh
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to teach the kids the gift of new life which is where the name came from. We ended up loving it and the rest is history.
What makes your program special?
We take a lot of pride in our program. All of our dogs have OFA hips and elbow clearances and genetic testing before we will breed any adult dog. We have a sire who is close to getting into the 500 point club and is a HRCH and MH.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
